    I’m going to be honest here I have seen less copious and comprehensive notes from Maoists, what a fucking saga.

    It’s a either a shame or a joy that despite being an online guy, I still have zero idea what a Hoxhaist is outside of bunker memes.

      The Wikipedia page provides a little info to clear things up. (I’d link to ProleWiki instead but Wikipedia has more info.)

      Part of the problem is that actual Hoxhaists prefer to call themselves Marxist-Leninist-Stalinists or something weird like that.

        Interesting. I have been doing a fair amount of Stalin reading recently, both about the man and by the man (though I find myself a mix of in favor, at odds and then sympathetic), so I might look into it abit further. That being said, I can’t imagine being a hardline Stalinist, so many of the policies that he championed in the Central Committee were policies of necessity, and then dealing with the aftermath of those policies of necessity, that I don’t think a blanket support of him is necessarily a good thing (though laying the blame entirely at his feet is just as flawed, if not more so).

        Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
